The banner of the Holy Cross, a symbol of divine power, flew and shook the earth with a uniform pace, and the silver-white armor reflected in the setting sun passed like an unstoppable torrent of steel—although the contingent of less than 100 men was a little insufficient in terms of numbers, but in terms of momentum, it was not inferior to thousands of troops.

That's it...... Templars of the Church?

Silently watching their approach, Lavana couldn't help but clench the sword in her hand.

As the main enemy that Elven Forest was about to face, she was no stranger to the Templars - in terms of personnel selection, will to fight, weaponry, etc., this was an elite army - however, it was nothing more than that, for the pros, the threat of conventional force on the battlefield was quite limited, and if war did break out, it was not these battle-hardened veterans who should really be worried, but the enemies' professionals.

It's just that...... The current situation is clearly not optimistic.

On the one hand, the elven warriors suffered heavy losses under the blows of the enemy's high-end combat power, and both their will to fight and their energy fell into a trough; On the other hand, the enemy came prepared, not only with neat military appearance and high morale, but also on their silver-white heroic armor, various colors of glow slowly flowed.

That's a blessing from the gods.

Give them swiftness like a storm, solidity like the earth, vitality like flowing water, and fighting spirit like fire.

It's difficult.

Warriors who are not afraid of hardship and death are not easy to deal with, and now they ...... Their state can be said to be extremely bad, although they reunited with the elves who had visited the highlands before, but there was also a battle over there, and among the more than twenty people present, none of them maintained a relatively good state, not even Monia...... Lahuana's gaze froze slightly on the little mage's tired face—I didn't know what deep meditation meant, but it didn't look like it would be useful in the rest of the battle.

Take care.

Finally, with a soft sigh in her heart, as one of the first to meet the enemy, along with several other elven swordsmen, Lahana did not hesitate to enter the neat formation of the Templars, the long sword slashed, the strong current exploded, the glow of the magic never before, and the sparks splashed from the steel armor, then dimmed, then collapsed, and the scarlet liquid was finally thrown high, and left a striking mark on the earth.

However, this is just the beginning.

There is naturally an invisible gap between the professional and the ordinary, but this gap is not insurmountable, as a violent organ that maintains the rule of the powerful, any army has training to fight against the incumbent, although there are many different names, but in essence they are all ...... Spend human life.

Unlike the upper class, the energy of the lower class is quite limited compared to the large-scale battle, whether it is the warfighter or the spellcaster, it is great that it can cause effective damage to dozens of people, but after that...... They are like lambs to the slaughter.

And the army of the Templars is more of a headache than ordinary armies, their steel heavy armor, if the warriors who do not use heavy weapons do not break out, they will not be able to cause damage at all, but once they break out, it will further aggravate the loss of physical strength, generally speaking, the warriors who can kill three to five Templars are already quite powerful...... Whether in the mercenary circle or in the military system, he can be called the number one person.

Sure enough, the Templars who had been impacted quickly gave way to a circle, and then, like an invisible mouth, swallowed the first batch of elven warriors who had been killed, and then the battle array rotated, slowly chewing the food in their mouths.

Can't go on like this!

Almost at the same time that the encirclement was formed, the elven warriors who broke through into the enemy formation had already recognized the grim situation, but mere understanding had no effect, and when the battle formation began to rotate, getting out of the battle had become a kind of unattainable extravagance—at least Lahuana was not at all sure that she would be able to break through the thick iron wall of the other party and fight her way out of it.

So...... What's next?

Halting her actions for now, Lajuana stood with her sword in hand, carefully observing the hoplites who swirled around her - frankly, she still had enough stamina to sustain one or two kills, but judging by this formation, the fallen enemy would soon be replaced by someone else, and there would not be even a single flaw at all.

I can only wait for rescue.

Although such a thought passed through her mind, the female swordsman did not wait passively, and even on the contrary, she rushed left and right in the encirclement, constantly looking for the gap between the changes in the battle formation. But the history of the Templar system can be traced back to the era of the turn of epochs thousands of years ago, and if even a low-ranking warrior can find a flaw in a hurry, then it would be too wasteful, right?

Naturally, Lahuana didn't have even the slightest chance, and her impact, placed on the entire rotating battle array, was just a meager response like a small ripple of water droplets falling and splashing.

In vain, in vain.

Some people may think so, but she doesn't think so.

Because...... She didn't fight alone.

There were six more people with whom she made a doomed futile attempt. One person may not be able to affect the entire battle array, but with the joint efforts of the seven people, the steps of the Templars are slightly scattered, and the entire battle array is also unstable - after all, the number of Templars is only sixty in total, and it is a little reluctant to eat this number of warriors in one go.

The biggest difference between ordinary armies and warfighters is that they lack the decisive force to make a final decision. It takes time to digest the encircled enemy, and time means an increase in variables - the military formation is a little messy under the impact of the elven warriors, but it is messy, the basic formation has not changed, and the inside is still as unbreakable as an iron bucket.

However, the attack did not come from within the military formation.

It's the same outside the formation.

On the surface, the elves seem to be under-armed—they are ambassadors, not armies, and they are more concerned with protecting the people in the carriage than winning the battle—whether it is Her Royal Highness Princess Isis, Elder Klaus, Her Excellency Monia, or even the human prince, no one can afford to lose.

But the elven warriors who can obtain the qualifications of the envoy, each of them is a battle-hardened warrior, they never lack due decisiveness, in the case of insufficient troops, the division of troops may be taboo, but in front of the elves, there is no other choice-

Once defeated, the consequences that await them will be more severe than the death of one or two important people.

Therefore, there is only one way to take the risk.

The elves who stayed behind did not hesitate, and after a short exchange, half of them were divided into a second group of adversaries—a squad of only nine people, the last force that the elves could muster, and if they could not change the situation, then there was no doubt that the scales of victory would tilt to the other end.

And this is precisely what the elves cannot accept.

So...... Must win!

Looking at each other, the tired soldiers who saw from their eyes that they were eager for victory cheered up one after another, and invariably launched an attack on the slightly loose battle formation - like a sharp knife cutting butter, the chisel attack that condensed the belief of nearly ten fighters in victory, divided the entire battle formation into two, not only successfully rescued the previously trapped companions, but also completely defeated the enemy's rainbow-like momentum.

Pretty! Get a round back.

Lavana couldn't help but think of it, but the joy of rewriting the battle had just risen before it was suddenly extinguished—like a dream bubble, the figures of dozens of Templars melted into the yellow sand in the blink of an eye, and even with the superhuman gaze of the elves, it was impossible to find any traces of their existence.

As if everything had been just their illusion.

Wait a minute...... Hallucination?

Lahana suddenly remembered that Monia had said that among the enemies, there was a priest who served the god of illusions, or the god of illusions? She didn't remember the names of the gods very well, but if that was the case, the sudden disappearance of the enemy before their eyes might be the effect of illusion......

Wrong!

The female swordsman suddenly woke up - since it was the god of the illusion of the master, why couldn't it be...... The enemy never appeared in front of them? Wait a minute! In that case, their goal would be-

"Be careful!"

She subconsciously shouted, but after all, it was a step too late.

The sound of a great earthquake roared from not far away, and the sudden wind stirred up dust and yellow sand all over the ground.

"Charge!"

An unresounding voice vibrated in the atmosphere, and then silver-white swords and armor appeared in the flying wind and sand, and the elven guards who remained near the convoy at this time were overwhelmed and swallowed by the silver-white tide without realizing what kind of upheaval had occurred...... Among the white waves, only the scattered sparks remained, telling the elven swordsmen who were being played with that resistance that had not yet been extinguished.

Worst!

The sudden reversal made Lahuana stunned slightly, but she quickly regained her senses, and then quickly adjusted her mentality, and while rushing in the direction of the carriage, she shouted to her companions who were still in shock: "Now is not the time to be surprised, hurry up and support over there!" ”

Perhaps it was her reminder that helped, or perhaps it was because the warriors who could be selected for the Elven Legion had a fairly high combat literacy, and there was almost no pause for a moment, and all fifteen warriors rushed back with a decisive momentum.

However, it was still a step too late.

The silver-white army was temporarily suspended, and then it rotated, and the battle formation against the fighters was once again ...... No, it's the first time to unfold!

In front of them is the most formidable steel barrier!

——

One step is one step away, and the overturning of the tide of war is inevitable at this moment.

PS: In the interview class of the provincial exam, I now have classes all day and practice in the evening......

Ps2: It's a little annoying, the company's training and the time of the provincial exam interview coincide...... Only one of them can be taken......

Ps3: The latest update will be unstable, but I'll remember the chapters that are owed. By the way, has anyone been pitted by this development?
